Google's Newest Employees: Sheep
谷歌雇羊来工作
Google is getting a bunch of sheep to do its job.
最近谷歌雇了群羊来工作。
That is, Google Street view is planning on bringing their services to the Faroe Islands with the help of the many sheep there, Google’s 360 degree cameras and some solar panels. The Google team landed last week on the island chain north of the U.K. and in a blog post that is stocked full of sheep puns, they said the animals are leading the way in photographing the lands. They're being helped out by residents who are attaching cameras to all sorts of things from wheelbarrows to kayaks.
谷歌街景打算雇一群羊,让它们扛上360度摄像头和太阳能板,用来收录法罗群岛的街景。谷歌团队上周才第一次探索这个英国北部的群岛,他们发布的博客里充满有关羊的俏皮话,说岛上主要靠这些羊带头拍摄。从独轮车到皮划艇,岛上居民帮他们在能放的地方几乎都放上了摄像头。
The project was actually started three months ago by Faroe Islands resident Durita Andreassen, who set out to document the 18 islands with the sheep. Andreeassen then applied for the Google Street View loan program that “is here to help you share 360 experiences from amazing places” and things progressed from there.
该计划3个月前由当地居民Durita Andreassen提出,她说这些羊很适合去记录18个岛屿的街景。后来,她申请谷歌街景“通过360度摄像头帮你分享绝美风景”的项目,才有了如此的进展。
As it turns out, you can visit quite a few quirky and amazing places using Google Street View. Here are a few of the best locations
事实证明,通过谷歌街景,你确实可以欣赏到稀有的绝美景观。下面给大家列举几个好地方:

At the Adelie Penguin Rookery, you can see a sunnier-than-expected South Pole landscape with plenty of penguins.
在阿德利企鹅栖息地,你可以看到比想象中阳光更充足的南极,那里还有很多企鹅。
Count Mayo, Ireland
爱尔兰梅奥
Here you can get a view of Ireland’s Ceide Fields, a picturesque sight of an archaeological site that dates back to the Stone Age. Points of interest include homes, tombs and other 6,000-year-old structures.
在这里你可以欣赏爱尔兰的Ceide高地。那里有很多石器时代的建筑:房屋、坟墓和其他6000多年之久的建筑。
The Grand Canyon
科罗拉多大峡谷
If you’ve ever hiked the Grand Canyon, you know it’s tough. If you want to take it easy, you can rely on Google to take a jaunt down Bright Angel Trail in Arizona with these 360 degree views.
如果你去过科罗拉多大峡谷,就应该清楚,到那里十分不易。借助谷歌地图360度摄像头,你可以轻松穿过亚利桑那的亮天使步道,欣赏科罗拉多大峡谷的美景。
Palace Of Versailles

With gold adorning every nook and cranny, you can take a virtual tour of the palace built by Louis XIV that really angered poor French people at the time.
